Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland has successfully completed the procurement process for "Scaffolding Services in North Region", which entered its tender phase on 16th March 2026 and progressed to a completed award by 25th June 2026. This open procedure, under the main procurement category of services, involved the provision of scaffolding services, including erection, alteration, inspection, adaptation, maintenance, and dismantling, across multiple geographical lots: Shetland, Orkney/Caithness, Grampian, Highland, and Western Isles. The procurement was conducted to engage suppliers for each lot, with a focus on the industry category of Built Environment, Tourism, Heritage, and Conservation. Contracts for each lot were promptly signed between 18th and 25th June 2026, with awards granted to SMEs like Scaffold Orkney and Ingleford Scaffolding Ltd. The contracts, reflecting a total of five lots, were signed with values ranging from GBP 33,862 to GBP 52,665.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in construction and scaffolding services. The open procedure allowed diverse businesses the opportunity to compete, fostering a competitive environment encouraging quality and innovation. Given the geographic spread of the locations—Shetland, Orkney/Caithness, Grampian, Highland, and Western Isles—firms with regional experience or those looking to expand into these areas will find potential growth avenues. Additionally, the emphasis on community benefits suggests opportunities for businesses to offer local apprenticeships or work placements, thus strengthening local employment and enhancing corporate social responsibility initiatives.
